1/1/2006 - Peer reviewed journal articlesNIOSH conducted four diesel-fuel fire experiments with specific fire heat-release rates to determine the reversal of smoke products-of-combustion from a mine fire in a mine section with the airway connectivity of an electrical Wheatstone bridge.
-
7/1/2005 - Conference papersLarge-scale explosion tests conducted within the multiple-entry section of NIOSH's Lake Lynn Experimental Mine (LLEM) are currently the only accepted test method for deeming a seal design suitable for use in U.S. mines. These explosion tests are labor-i...

6/1/2003 - Conference papersThe authors hypothesize that excavation-induced extension fractures are caused by elastic shearing displacement that in turn causes tension oblique to a propagating shear zone.

2/1/2003 - Peer reviewed journal articlesA performance criterion is described that identifies sincere vs insincere group membership during functional evaluations of dynamic trunk motion performance. Examiners evaluated participants to quantify inter-rater and test-retest reliability.

8/1/2001 - Conference papersThis paper presents investigations of underground measurements conducted to determine the loading response of stoppings constructed from lightweight aggregate concrete masonry units.
-
1/1/2001 - Conference papersRecognizing the dynamic nature and possible range of toxic concentrations in the impending fume cloud prior to undertaking explosive blasting can reduce potential hazards and mitigate related incidents. The scaled cloud model was formulated to predict t...
-
6/1/1999 - Conference papersThis paper describes research to improve safety during transport of ore and waste in underground mines.
-
6/1/1998 - Conference papersHistorically, the surface subsidence over underground coal mines has been predicted using empirical profile or influence functions which have little or no connection to the actual mechanics of the subsidence. This paper presents a case study where a me...
-
6/1/1998 - Information CircularsA collection of 15 papers from leading international ground control specialists. The papers address the entire range of issues associated with coal pillars and have a decidedly practical flavor.
-
5/1/1998 - Conference papersThe U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has identified ore pass hazards as s significant safety problem in underground metal mines in the United States. Researchers at the Spokane Research Laboratory of the National Institute for Occupati...
